No. Don't you have a depressed teenager to harass?
She did, but things grew awkward after they went to the hospital.
Play the ones you want, be ok with not finishing the ones you just aren’t feeling after giving them a decent try
Same advice for books.
Average enjoyment across multiple games and books ftw!
I can't bring myself to finish dragon age inquisition.
Which sucks, it was a fantastic game I enjoyed nearly every minute of, and I wish I had gotten into the series when I had more free time than a hibernating bear.
No idea what it is, I just stopped playing one day and never started it back up, and now I just don't have any interest in it.
But the new ones are new.
This person makes a very compelling argument.
Why would I continue a game I have no interest in?
I play games for fun, not because I want to finish them.
If a game stops being fun, I go on to the next.
And you can't stop me.
Ok but what about all the games you bought but haven't even installed yet?
Hey listen here you little shit!
This is the correct mentality. Game fun? Play. Game not fun? Don't play.
The era of mass buying games on sale has come and gone imo.
I haven't seen any really interesting deals in relation to games I remotely care about in years.
I'm starting to go down the dark path of Indies only.
Dark path? My experience is that it's a more narrow but brighter path.
What I mean is that if you take your time, vet the cash grabs and ones that are perpetually in version 0.02a, then there are some real gems out there.
I don't play all the games I can anymore instead just focusing on ones I really like. Indie games are my goto anymore.
I have 200 or so hours in modded Fallout 4 GOTY that was bought on sale for like $40.
Factorio, just passed the 1200hr mark and just got into modding. $20 a few years ago.
I planned to write more but re-read your comment and realized you're joking....I need more coffee.
Indies are the bright path. Been absolutely fucking enthralled with Signalis lately, and it was made by less than a handful of people.
The dark path is AAA games: expensive, buggy at launch, unnecessary micro payments, short-lived.
But... But... I have Factorio and Rimworld...
You better beat them.
😭😭😭😭😭
Lol.
Make me
Get in the robot shinji
Surely the new ones will give good chemicals! Old ones don't give good chemicals!
Hey, here's a radical thought... don't force yourself to finish something just because you paid for it. A lot of games accumulated were prior to generous refund policy and back in the days of Bundles and stuff. Why would you force yourself to play something you don't like.
Back in the days of bundles.
Looks at the 5 TRPG I just got yesterday for $15. So I could get 1 game I wanted that is always $20.
Exactly. People wonder why so many are praising Gaben, but decision to refund any game for any reason within 2h of play or 2 weeks of ownership is an awesome one. So many times game looks entertaining only to realize it's bad.
Hahahaha. No. You can't make me!
Jokes on you, most of my games are from bundles so I don’t even remember what I bought vs what I got for free
You’re not my supervisor!
I refuse. If I lose interest in a game, I ain't touching it until I'm ready. It's one of the big reasons I quit FNV months ago in the middle of what will be my first ever completion of the game.
YMMV but I think a healthier approach to backlogs in general is understanding it's okay to leaving something unfinished, not be immediately hooked, or revisit it when you're in the mood.
As long as you tried the game and realise it's not for you (in the moment or later) then you don't need to finish. Playing games should be like travelling and visiting places - you'll likely never see all of it and that's okay.
Nah
No
Damn you Humble Bundle!
NO
You're not the boss of me now.
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me.
I finished Axiom Verge, what more do you want from me?!?
I am still not finished with Anno 1602 endless mode. It is getting kind of boring…
I have a moratorium on buying games until more than 50% of the games in my library have been played at least once.
But the new ones are on sale. I basically have to buy them now!
Nope, I bought Snowrunner this week and I'm having a great time with it, I would not be having a great time with most of my "backlog". There's a reason unplayed games stay unplayed.
I'M TELLING YOU I CAN'T
Letme go finish all of Eu4 real quick
No, I have to chase the thrill of having a New Game.
Well shit, if Asuka says so...
